Vashti participant in Paddle for Parts 200l is now

an Honouray Paddler for Life and always welcome

Pictured at right is our Paddler Patti, the driving force behind the Donor Card Program in
Yellowknife. Patti was a founding Member of Paddler's for Parts and great fun at all the events that she either planned or
helped at. Our loss is Manitoba's gain and we hope to see a "Paddler's" branch there yet!

The Paddler's wish Patti and Al and the kids well in all their future endeavours. You can
always come and visit but we will be paddling your way shortly.

Lenka adeserving Paddler's Bursary recipient

and her charming companion / Lic. Practical Nurse

The Paddler's were pleased to be able to help Lenka reach for her goal. Seeing these folks
get where they're going is one of the Paddler's goals. Promotion of Organ and Tissue donation being our main goal, becomes
much easier when folks see where their hard earned donations go. Lenkas success will make our task easier and so we support
each other proving that many paddles make light work. Greg

Coming Up

February 23rd: Free Swim at the Ruth Inch Pool swims starts at 6:30 PM and runs Till 8:00PM.The
swim is open to any and all that wish to attend and get wet. Kids 7 and under require adult supervision, local rules of our
cement pond.

The concept behind this group was thought of by Greg Loftus and originally was to include 3
events over a three year period. Little did we realize the support that Yellowknifer's and others would throw behind us and
now our first plan has been updated and revised (and how).

Honourary Paddler for Life Patti Woods

Patti has moved and we miss her at functions

Honourary Paddler's for Life

This is we hope an honour that folks will appreciate and we are pleased to offer them. Becoming
and Honourary Paddler for Life involves just one minor detail, completion of a one thousand mile journey as a fund raiser
on our and the Kidney Foundations behalf.

Corey Elliot was the first to receive this honour and probably dosen't even know it for his
completion of Pedal for Parts 2000 our Yellowknife to Edmonton bicycle ride. The pleasure of Correy's company made the miles
easier even if I spent most of my time trying to catch him.

Vashti Dunham of Bezanson, AB. was our second to receive the title for her completion
of Paddle for Parts 2001 one thousand miles of the Mackenzie River Ft. Providence to Inuvik NWT. Heather Thompson was a great
help in the fund raising department and did much to boost the donation we were able to present the Kidney Foundation with.Heather
was named a "Paddler in Spirit" and send a certificate for her efforts on our behalf. Vashti is now a married lady living
her dream with her husband and their farm, we wish them well and who knows, may paddle together again some day.

We hope to be hosting your Paddler's chapters events here as well as our own.
